You nailed it! T

Aux tracks have created issues for me in the past. Try the template without the aux. Haven’t had aux issues in a long time. Send the template to Noel. Tom

I’ve been building a custom kit in SD3 since its release. I’m using some of my favorite EZD pieces in that kit. Sidney hit the nail on the head, EZD sounds are processed, SD3 are not. SD3 can be a bit daunting. T

With SD3 on the m.2 it loads “yesterday”. Trilian, ditto. Passed on both Modos. I’m all in when EZBass is released. Just wish EZKeyes had a B3. Come on Toon! T

Very intimate feel on this one. Again, must be someone special in your life. Really like the vocal harmonies. I would "dress" up the bass line just a bit; study McCartney, he holds down the tune solidly, but adds those little embellishments along the way. Overall a big thumbs up. Tom ps: I've commented on the picture you use on your tunes before, no criticism here , but I would have it reflect the tune a bit more. Great on the "Country Rockers", but these intimate love songs really need some special. just me...

Ouch, you were exorcising some demons on this one; I feel for you. Nicely done, I hope it did the trick. T

Classic Oister here! I'm lovin' that 5 string bass. And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that "insistant" kick; that's metal. Of course, great tone and touch on the guitars; its all about the "touch", and you got it! Great vid as well. Fine production on all fronts, start to finish (love the phone at the end); keep it up my brother! T

Similar story here, always a Paul man, still have the '68 GoldTop my father bought me for my sixteenth birthday, "seduced" by a PRS '93 Custom 24 (goldtop) back in the summer of '94 (do we see a "trend" here?). There are 2 PRS' on the tune; an HBII (Amber) on the rhythm track and my "main squeeze" (Anna), a Santana II, on the lead tracks (very '59ish neck on this old girl). Thanks for the kind words and encouragement, it means a lot... T ps: biggest disappointment of my "big guitar hunt" life was a 2003, "we finally got it right!" Brazilian board R7, just not a "real" Paul, and trust me I've been chasing LP's since the late 60's, I've played, and owned, a ton of "Golden Era" Kalamazoo, MI. Gibson's.

No stones to throw here! Maybe a few to "roll" just to keep the moss off (mybad, couldn't help myself). The guitar seems a bit ahead of the beat in the intro, is the Floyd original that far ahead? Not a criticism, just an observation. Fine vocal man, I love it! Take care my brother, and keep them deals coming, but don't let that interfere with your studio time. Tom

For some reason I'm thinking Huey Lewis and the News on this one; that kind of vibe anyway, I like it! Print it man, move on to the next tune; all good here. Tom ps: that B3 on Hard Landing, WOW!

Lovely ambiance on this one. At the 0:30 mark that sudden "depth" is gorgeous. Very well done! I can see this as the trailer out on a feature film. Tom

Quite a lovely tribute to your auntie Betty. She is indeed very talented. Thought I saw one pastel in there, the skyscape maybe? Kudos on ya and a big thumbs up! Tom

Blues Deluxe has been around long enough for a "reissue"? Seriously? (this is the one with "bad drive" and "more bad drive"; right?) Jim please stop! Talk about the "rabbit hole", now I need a TAE; you're killin' me here, killin me... ? I did look at the Neve Shelford, Yikes! I am kind of drooling for a 517 though, got a 20% offer from Guitar Center; I gotta quit... please help me!

Generally I freeze EZD or SD3 when I'm done tweaking the track. There was a time when EZD would fall out of sync during playback. I freeze Trilian when I'm done with the bass track; audio loads faster than samples. Of course with the m.2 sample drive I don't have to "wait" anymore, but I'm a "creature of habit". I always freeze all my synth tracks before final export, but again creature of habit; just me. YMMV Tom ps: Once the project is "finished" and sits for awhile, synths are updated, patches change, etc. If I want to revisit the mix, I want audio tracks, not synth tracks that are no longer the same...

Sidney, you have moved to the kicks that came with SD3? T

“Overall my right hand holds much of the secret to my tone and phrasing. This is a big reason I ditched modelers and went back to using real amps a year ago .” This is so true, it really is the picking hand that is “driving” the car! I tend to use software, but there really is no substitute for a responsive tube amp. Tom

Steve, ToonTracks is all midi based. As far as I know they have no audio loops. EZKeys is highly customizable, so yes changing keys, minor major, very easy. No EZGuitar yet, far as I know. Tom

Not quite ready for prime time. But you’ve sketched your tune out, now we need to build a solid backing track. If I was producing I might try slowing it down a bit. You’re trying to deliver a lot of words and struggling a bit to my ears. Tighten up that drum track, get the vocal together, and bring it back. Stay with it. Tom

3am Text message “Your flight is cancelled!” Frantic search for alternate flights. Fitful two hours trying to get back to sleep. I was not looking for “relaxation”. You kicked my sorry ***** into high gear and I thank you. Well done my brother, keep it coming, I’m inspired! Just hoping for some serious studio time when I finally make it home. ?? up on this one. Tom evidently $ is recognized by the forum software as an s. My bad...

Again a tune for someone special in your life, and you’ve hit the mark. Reminds me of John Denver a bit. Nicely done. Tom

I missed it last year so I can’t comment on 50% more scary, but I can say you hit the mark. Tom

As always Bat this is brilliant! The writing, performance, production, the video. I’m a fan, what more can I say. Thanks for posting, and keeping the bar high. Tom

Pedal steel from BIAB, very nice. Tell me you did the swells on the Tele not the Paul. Beautifully done, kudos to ya. Very much enjoyed this. ?? Tom
